lasting impact on the institutions and social fabric of the entire

is organized by Vietnamese-American community organizations of
Southern California to celebrate Tet, the Vietnamese lunar New Year;
and
   WHEREAS, The festival, which is held in Little Saigon in Orange
County, attracts as many as 50,000 people annually; and
   WHEREAS, The 1999 Tet Festival will be held from February 12
through February 20 and will include many events commemorating this
important holiday, including a parade on February 20, and a wide
range of exhibits of cultural interest; and
   WHEREAS, The 1999 Tet Festival in Orange County contributes to the
appreciation and cultural understanding of a large part of the
Orange County community and reflects the growing diversity of the
state's residents; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the week of February 12 through February 20,
1999, be proclaimed "Orange County Vietnamese-American Community
Week" to honor the contributions and achievements of the state's
